NEW YORK, 30 April 2008 -- UNICEF Representative in Iran Christian Salazar has called for a deeper understanding of Islam to more effectively fight poverty in Islamic nations. He told an international conference in New York last week that while Iran has successfully tackled poverty in recent decades, disparities in income remain. • • The religious charities play a huge role in poverty reduction, said Mr. Salazar. If we want to improve the situation of those children, we need to enter into dialogue with [the charities], discuss our successful experiences from other countries and how their programmes can achieve even better outcomes for children. • • We need to broaden our understanding but also inject new thinking, new experiences and new concepts, he added. • • To read the full story, visit: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/i...
